Mattress used to break toddler’s fall in Burbank

A 3-year-old boy who fell out of a third-story window in Burbank was saved by a quick-acting couple who threw a mattress out to break his fall. Konrad Lightner and his wife, Jennifer, were moving out of their apartment Sunday when they noticed the toddler and his sister throwing their toys out the window, KABC-TV reported.

When they saw the little boy throw his leg over the windowsill, the husband rushed to pull over the mattress. He was able to break the child’s fall and ease him onto the mattress.

The toddler was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, but he did not suffer any major injuries.

A neighbor notified the boy’s parents, who were unaware of what happened but ever grateful for the rescue.
